1. Teacher Guide This lesson is designed to teach kids to ask a critical thinking question that you can’t just put into a search box to solve. To do that, we encourage them with smaller questions that search can help them answer. Make sure that you read the notes for each slide: they not only give you teaching tips but also provide answers and hints so you can help the kids if they are having trouble.

This lesson is designed to teach the Common Core State Standard: Number & Operations—Fractions CCSS.Math.Content.4.NF.B.3.bCCSS.Math.Content.4.NF.B.3.b Decompose a fraction into a sum of fractions with the same denominator in more than one way, recording each decomposition by an equation. Justify decompositions, e.g., by using a visual fraction model. Examples: 3/8 = 1/8 + 1/8 + 1/8 ; 3/8 = 1/8 + 2/8 ; 2 1/8 = 1 + 1 + 1/8 = 8/8 + 8/8 + 1/8. CCSS.Math.Content.4.NF.B.3.dCCSS.Math.Content.4.NF.B.3.d Solve word problems involving addition and subtraction of fractions referring to the same whole and having like denominators, e.g., by using visual fraction models and equations to represent the problem.

3. For the next 11 days, this city on the French Riviera will be the center of the universe as far as the movie industry is concerned. Cannes was once a sleepy fishing village, but in 1946, when it was selected as the place to host an international film festival, the perception of Cannes changed forever. Even when the festival’s not underway, a stroll down the seaside avenue, the Promenade de la Croisette, reveals the lasting influence of film-industry money and glamour: High-end retail and luxury resorts crowd the street. But historic sites and natural beauty also abound, giving the more casual visitor plenty to do if, you know, keeping an eye out for Brangelina isn’t one of your goals. The Palme d’Or is the highest prize awarded at the Cannes Film Festival. What fraction of the time has an American filmmaker won the award since its reintroduction in 1975?
